Noob System Build Advice

I am looking to build my first computer (after a decade) and have chosen the following components. I want to keep the total build at/around $1000. I do not do a lot of intense gaming, but do some video editing. I am stuck on choosing a case, I cannot decide. I know I want a mid-tower, with good cable management, and external ports for audio/mic/usb (firewire would be nice, but not mandatory). I would also like to be able to see into the case, just b/c I have had PCs for 20 years and wanted something different.

You can get the deluxe 790fx version, with 85$ off combo deal or the same board you picked with $80 off! Check it out there are different boards too but look man there is good stuff! Trying to help you save
I would go with the ASUS M4A79T Deluxe because it is only $35 more than the M4A78T-E combo deal and its a really nice board man. It is even cheaper than just buying the board and CPU alone lol.

Okay what you need to do it get the combo deal with the cpu and a motherboard

Yeah, I will definitely look into the combo deals when I make the purchase. My initial concern was making sure that I had picked the correct components before spending the, hardly ever seems to be there, $$$.

No it will not they run cool. Even overclocked they don't need heat spreaders. For alot of RAM it is just a gimmick. If you are paranoid though you could buy some heatsinks down the road but overall the crucial is a much better kit.
